It has been prepared in accordance with section 55 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 ( EP&A Act) and the relevant Department of Planning Guidelines including A Guide to Preparing Local Environmental Plans and A Guide to Preparing Planning Proposals. On 8 December 2009, the City of Canada Bay Council endorsed the draft Rhodes West Master Plan. The Master Plan proposes a 12% uplift in the amount of floor space permitted in the Rhodes Peninsula under Sydney Regional Environmental Plan No. 29 (SREP 29). The uplift will result in changes to the urban form of a number of buildings on sites yet to be developed, additional public open space and consequent amendment to the controls that apply to the peninsula. The adopted Rhodes West Master Plan is provided as Attachment A. A Supplementary Planning Report that provides additional background on the Rhodes West master Plan is provided as Attachment B. It is proposed to implement the Master Plan by incorporating the relevant provisions of SREP 29 into the Canada Bay Local Environmental Plan 2008. This will require the provisions of the SREP to be translated into Standard Instrument format, whilst also being amended to capture the changes proposed by the Rhodes West Master Plan. It is envisaged that the SREP will be repealed when the amendments to the LEP are gazetted. This Planning Proposal addresses matters that are intended to be included in the Local Environmental Plan. More detailed planning matters will be guided by a revised Development Control Plan for the precinct.
